1 غَبَّتِ الإِِبِلُ ذ , (S,) or المَاشِيَةُ, (Msb, K,) aor. غَبِ3َ , inf. n. غَبٌّ (S, Msb, K) and غُبُوبٌ, (Msb, K,) The camels, (S,) or cattle, (Msb, K,) came to water, (S,) or drank, (Msb, K,) on alternate days; one day and not the next day. (S, Msb, K.) ― -b2- Hence, (IAth, TA,) غَبَّ said of a man means He came visiting at intervals of some days, or after some days. (AA, IAth, TA.) [See also غِبٌّ: and see غُبَيْسٌ.] ― -b3- And غَبَّ عَنِ القَوْمِ, (Ks, S, Msb, K,) aor. غَبُ3َ , the verb in this case being of the class of قَتَلَ, [but this is contr. to analogy, as well as to the derivation,] inf. n. غِبٌّ, with kesr, He came to the people, or party, day after day: (Msb:) or, as also القَوْمَ ↓ اغبّ , he came to the people, or party, on alternate days, coming one day and not the next: (Ks, S, K:) or he came to them once in two days or more. (TA.) It is said in a trad., فِى عِيَادَةِ المَرِيضِ ↓ أَغِبُّوا وَأَرْبِعُوا Visit ye the sick on alternate days and after intervals of two days: (S, TA:) not every day, lest he find your visits to be troublesome. (TA. [See also art. ربع.]) And you say, ↓ أَغْبَبْتُهُ , inf. n. إِِغْبَابٌ, meaning I visited him [once] in every week. (A.) ― -b4- And hence غَبَّتْ said of a fever. (Msb.) غَبَّتِ الحُمَّى and ↓ أَغَبَّت signify the same: (S:) you say, غَبَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الحُمَّى, The fever came upon him, (Msb,) or attacked him, (K,) one day and intermitted one day; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ أَغَبَّتْهُ and ↓ أَغَبَّتْ عَلَيْهِ. (K.) [See also غِبٌّ.] ― -b5- You say also, غَبَّ عِنْدَنَا, (S, L, K,) and ↓ اغبّ , (L, K,) He passed the night, or a night, at our abode. (S, L, K.) Hence the saying, رُوَيْدَ الشِّعْرَ يَغِبَّ [so accord. to the TA, حَتَّى being understood, accord. to the explanation of Meyd, but in the CK, and in one of my copies of the S, and in Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 522, يَغِبُّ,] (S, K,) i. e. Leave thou the poetry until some days shall have passed, that thou mayest see what will be its result, whether it will be praised or dispraised: (Meyd, TA:) or it may be from غَبَّت said of a fever, and may thus mean, leave thou the poetry to be kept back from people, [or to be intermitted,] i. e. do not repeat it to people in an uninterrupted manner, lest they become weary. (Meyd. [See also art. رود.]) ― -b6- And [hence] غَبَّ, (T, S, L, Msb, K,) aor. غَبِ3َ , (L, Msb,) inf. n. غَبٌّ and غِبٌّ and غُبُوبٌ and غُبُوبَةٌ, (L,) said of food, (L, Msb,) and of dates, or especially of flesh-meat as some say, (L,) It remained throughout a night, whether it became corrupt or not: (L, Msb:) and, said of food, it became altered [for the worse] in its odour: (L:) or, said of flesh-meat, it became stinking: (T, S, K;) as also ↓ اغبّ : (T, K:) and it (a thing) became corrupt. (TA. [See also 2.]) ― -b7- غَبَّتِ الأُمُورُ means The affairs, or events, came to, or arrived at, their ends, conclusions, latter or last parts or states, issues, or results. (S, TA.) ― -b8- And غَبَّ الشَّئُْ فِى نَفْسِهِ, aor. غَبِ3َ , inf. n. غَبٌّ, [app. meaning The thing came into his mind,] is a phrase mentioned by Th. (TA.)
